do you believe in global warming?

Question

and you are you persuaded to believe that way?

Answer 1

If global warming was real, it wouldn't have to be believed, it would just be.

The speed of light is real, it can be measured, it can be checked and verified by anyone. Same goes for the distance the Sun is from the Earth, or Ohm's law.

Things that have to be believed are more like a religion than a science, and should be treated as such until either proven or disproved.

Answer 2

Contrary to all the arguments that go back and forth between the skeptics and the believers the underlying principle, the very foundation of global warming, can not and never has been refuted.

That principle being the ability of greenhouse gases to retain heat within the atmopshere. It's very simple to prove for yourself and can be done using a few common household items.

If the greenhouse gases didn't possess this heat absorbing ability the atmopshere wouldn't retain heat and the planet would be so cold that life would never have evolved. It would, for all intents and purposes, be nothing but a ball of ice floating in space.

Fortunately, greenhouse gases do retain heat and the planet has a habitable climate. Quite obviously the more greenhouse gases there are the more heat is retained.

If you'd like clarification of any of the points or a more detailed explanation just ask.

Answer 3

yes i believe in global warming.and whatever information i am collected i wants to share with you.plz go through it.
Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.

• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.

• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.

• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.

• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.

• Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.

• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.

Answer 4

Yes, Technology is Booming, Which Means More Industrial Equiptment Being Used, More Vehicles Being Produced, More and More Power Plants Are Burning More Fossil Fuels, Etc. They Say The Ice Caps Are Melting At An Accelerated Rate. We are Becoming The Next Ice Age!

Answer 5

No of course not ,to skeptics and deniers it is mass hysteria and figments of millions of peoples imagination .
so you got nothing to worry about
God rules America and will protect you
so it wont happen there .

However the price of beer may go up ,because of potable water shortage
and food prices may rise because the third world slave countries got lots of problems due to Global Warming.
on e degree rise in temperature means 10% crop loss-

In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before.
Millions of animals died and the crocodile ,who are abundant in that area were delighted.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .
Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming
a few years ago a whole bunch in France as well.

these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand
and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors

In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing

So you see all is well you may have polar bears soon in America ,when the north pole is gone ,looking for a home ,as the bollweavel sings.
so that is the good news you can add another specie to your list ,instead of deleting hundreds that are disappearing

the biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,this affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that affect all that follows in the food chains ,All life is interrelated of both flora and fauna,

And we as being on the top of the food chain are always the last to know

when they killed all the mosquito's around the Danube for example all of the life in the woods disappeared ,they were a vital link in the food change.like the disappearing bees will drastically affect pollination ,some of that is part of our food production

So Global warming has its toll there are incidents all over the world ,

But dont worry not in America ,and look on the bright side ,this will save the globalists of your New world order on bombs

if you look you can always find something positive in disasters

Answer 6

Yes, Global Warming is real, BUT it is COMPLETELY NATURAL!!!! Humans have had basically no effect on it. I saw a talk by Dr. William Gray, a world renowned meteorologist, and his information was very convincing. Every single day, the amount of water vapor that goes into the atmosphere is over 100 times as much as the TOTAL of all the CO2 we have put there since the industrial revolution. Water vapor is more effective as a heat retaining greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. The Earth is just going through a natural cycle of warming.

Answer 7

I don't "believe" in it. I know it's real, and mostly caused by us. For the same reason as Admiral Truly:

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/412.php?lb=hmpg1&pnt=412&nid=&id=

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know... Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point. You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 8

Yes i believe in global warming and if people don't start to take a stand are Earth is not going to be safe. Glacier are melting and Endangered species are dying do to climate change. How els would you describe this?

Answer 9

yeah. When people's population increases then the amount of carbon dioxide increases. This causes global warming.

Answer 10

Nope. Never have, never will.

Just look at the root argument of the alarmists, and then the counter-argument of the skeptics:
Alarmists: Humans are causing the earth to warm by releasing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from unchecked use of fossil fuels.
Skeptics: Only 3% of the gases in the atmosphere are CO2, and only 0.054% of that is anthropogenic. CO2 cannot be the root cause of the warming trend.

Then the alarmists go on to say that even if global warming does not turn out to be catastrophic (which it WILL no matter what because they say so), the steps taken to slow the warming would be beneficial. Much to the contrary, halting or reducing the use of fossil fuels would have drastic effects on our economy, and would be especially harmful to the poor in this country. Many low-income families need their cars to get to work. If we dramatically raise the price of gasoline, switch to a more expensive energy source, or make the only "lawful" cars hybrids, then the poor people will not be able to afford this energy. (We are already seeing similar scenarios in Africa.)

I do NOT believe in global warming, and I think it is very important that we get the word out to people how disastrous the effects of trying to stop it can be on our economy.
